The Toronto Blue Jays are the only team in the Major League Baseball association that aren’t located in the United States and are also the only Canadian team to compete as a member club of the AL (American League) East division, which makes them a very unique franchise and brand. Since the Montreal Expos were moved out of Montreal to become the Washington Nationals, the Blue Jays are now considered “the” Canadian Baseball team and a favorite for the northern nation. They are affectionately referred to as the “Jays”.

Toronto Blue Jays – The birth of a franchise until today

Originally owned by the Labatt Brewing Company and founded in 1977. The Blue Jays have proved to be a lasting franchise and have moved through three different stadiums over 3 generations. The first being, the Exhibition Stadium until the Skydome was opened in 1989. In the year 2000 the franchise was purchased by the Rogers Communications company. It still took four years before the company purchased the famous Skydome and renamed it the Rogers Centre.

At the start of the franchise the Toronto Blue Jays faced the same struggle of any other expansion team often finishing last in the division. In fact, it took the Jays 6 years before their first winning season, which took place in 1983. They became the division champions in 1985 and for the next 8 years from 1985-1993 they were a veritable powerhouse in the American League East Division. They won five division championships and 2 world series championships in 9 seasons. Consecutively winning the division championship back to back between ‘91 and ‘93 and 2 back to back world series champions in ‘92 and ‘93.

As many great teams, the Toronto Blue Jays have had some rough times throughout their history. After they won their second World Series Championship in 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays team fell behind and couldn’t qualify in the playoffs at all for the following 21 seasons. That was until 2015. In 2015 the Toronto Blue Jays did make it to the playoffs and then the division series which they won! They later lost the division championship though to the dismay of thousands of fans. In 2016 they grabbed the AL wild card position and again they won the division series but failed to win the AL Championship series.

The Toronto Blue Jays finished in 4th place for the AL East division last year and we are hoping this year they The Blue Jays will make it back to the world series again, the whole of the 6 and Canada is rooting for the Toronto Blue Jays. The Montreal expos were poised to make it to the World Series in 1994 but the strike ruined those chances and the rest remains history as the team was moved to Washington soon after. The Toronto Blue Jays now have a monopoly on all Canadian Baseball fans and records.
